Mayor of London Boris Johnson has revealed further details of his plans to create a further cycle superhighway in the capital.

The Cycle Superhighway One (CS1) will run parallel to the A10 to connect Tottenham to the City of London. The mayor’s office and Transport for London (TfL) have launched a consultation into the plans to establish the precise route.

The overall aim is to make the journey safer and more pleasant than using the main road. It is claimed that cyclists would be able to travel the entire 11 km route in 30 minutes. It would only have eight sets of traffic lights, compared to the 54 along the same stretch of the A10.
Leon Daniels, managing director of Surface Transport at TfL, said: “Cycling in London has more than doubled in the last decade. However, many existing and potential cyclists are not aware of direct cycle routes along quieter streets, such as the route that CS1 would follow. These plans will provide a clear and safe cycling route into central London.”
